  • E505 - Something that I still can not believe. I was humbled by Mr Sean from the west coast. he sent me a MASSIVE donation of C= and PC things. more than i could have ever imagined. I did at least pay for the shipping .Yet I still feel unworthy of such a gesture. I promise to be the best custodian I can during the time i have.
    Please do not get angry with me for receiving something so nice. IF you know me you know how much i truly care for the Amiga ,both yours and my own.
    For 11 years i have fixed and repaired things for free. mainly on my own $ with now the help from a few others via patreon. yet I still do not feel worthy of this. nor any gifts... SO a great thank you Sean and a great thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. I hope you enjoy this as much as i do every single day. C.E.

    It just baffles me that people would get upset that things like this are donated to someone like you Chris. One day they will realize it is just payment for all the long hours and free repairs you have put in!

    Not sure how anyone could get mad at you for accepting donations, particularly given the amount of Amigas you rescue at the expense of your own (and money in many cases). People think I'm a bit mad watching videos of a guy solder old computers, while I'm eating dinner, but the Amiga holds a special place in my heart. Keep up the good work Chris!

    Never ceases to amaze me, how much people donate to you, so humbling to see that “virtual” friends give so much so willingly. We all know they could scalp many of us on eBay to get some good money for the items but choose not to. True love there.

I am sure those donations will be well taken care of and will help fuel more awesome videos in the future. That said, thank you BOTH!

    No you can never have to many amigas, i have a decent collection but sadly lacking a 3000 and a 4000, one day if i get rich, they are sadly out of my price range.
    Keep up the great work, i have learned a lot from your channel and have every single one of my amigas working 100%.

    Damn, you got some nice gifts. My friend would die for an E/Box 4000. I think I have four A1200s in the E/Box, and an A4000 in a Micronik Tower. I also got some great things from a friend from Ireland, an A1200, an A500 and a WarpedVision for my turbo Warp1260 (best turbo for A1200, together with BlizardPPC).
    BTW: I live 15 km from Elbox's headquarters, I recently visited them. Greetings from Poland.

Chris thanks. I hope to continue learning from you for a long time and to be able to watch your videos.

    Hi, everyone! First off, love your channel! I'm relatively new to the world of Amiga. I grew up with an Apple //c until I got my first PC in '94. I had friends with C64's and A500's. Never had an Amiga, but always wanted one. The Amiga scene is awesome!!! Looking for an A1200 maybe local in the Portland area to refurbish. Let me know if y'all got one to sell! 😀

  • @Amn2k9

    I have that Elbox case with an A1200 in it. I think they called it the mediator case. The riser to add the pci slots are so expensive though.
    We all know that all this stuff has gone to a good home Chris so don't lose any sleep over none supportive comments.

    Keep up the excellent work. 👍🏻

      Funny that you say this, because I think Commodore made a mistake with the serial numbers and there are quite some serial number 1 amiga's here in the Netherlands. They pop up on the local eBay site every now and they, so they are not as special as you would think.
